The old negativity, slagging off albums, artists (established and new) has given way to a new spirit of positivity where musical releases are treated with an air of respect and admiration. Gone have the spiteful, dismissive, ill conceived put downs to be replaced by thoughtful, constructive adulation. This thread is to be the last bastion of fucking moaning about everything. I'm going to keep my gripes about all and sundry in this thread, rather than rashly banging on in V.Snares or Ae themed threads, so as to keep the place tidy. I thank you for your time and your most generous indulgence. |

So this is the "sewers" of XLT, I take it. |

dog_belch, sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman! |

Basically, yes. The bog, the foul mouthed public bar to the lounge, if you will. |

I might set up camp in this thread, then. |

It could go places, i think, you know, some people are right and the moaning is a negative thing, I agree, it's so easy, sooooooooooooo eaaaaaasssssssssssy to slag off music, specially in this Ker-azy genre, and I don't want to be viewed as a a complete TIT WAD, so if I could just keep my gripes/upsets/rants/grievances, however misguided, here, and those of other belicose souls, then I'm sure Phobia will give me an internet knighthood. |

your attempt at a descriptive-normative statement has been follied. |

It kind of bores me. I understand when "slaging" music is ok.... ie someone creates utter trash but sometimes i wonder if certain people actually listen to the release. i often am very excepting of sound and music. I let the artist be the storyteller and i am the small child at bedtime listening and excepting everthing i hear. Even if i dont like it i try to find qualities about it that i do like. It makes the experience more enjoyable. Anyways i am rambling and a bit over tired. Off to drink a bit more caffinnienineineineiene |

is that a smile or a yawn steve is giving us? |

This isn't about ethics, it's about crap music and good music. |

No you're right, and I like YOUR STYLE! It's true what you say. I, however, find comfort in being bitter about things because I have deep rooted problems in my psyche and issues that are getting late in the day to address. It just helps me to be arsey about music I don't like. |

I have an obsession with sound or something. A good example of that would be the fact that i have listened to every piece of work that Ryoji Ikeda has ever done. Perhaps that is why i usually dont have negitive comments when people spam music here. I am very easy to please. I love sound. Especially speech. I like how speech works. i am negitive because i am currrently over tired. Does that fit in this thread |

i'm bitter about a lot of things. i think it's ace that people have critcism, it usually opens up to great conversations... unless people take it personally or if it'a just to troll.. i find sir dog_belch to be most open about what he says and always ready to discuss the matter further. deep down we all know it's relative, but it's nice to have things to talk about, to voice our opinions. |

You can do what you like in here, old son. You are right, in many ways, and you've said it simply, which makes your case more compelling. I'd say this "Act as if the maxim of your action was to become through your will a universal law of nature. (Kant's Categorical Imperative)" if I weren't copy and pasting something else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also like to hear about what people dont like. As in "why did this sound bother you" or "what particular aspect of this song turned you off" It is very rarely that i hear such things. |
||||||||
|

sad when someone talks shit about music more than they talk about music they like. |

It is, i think Hobbe-O is right that moaning often brings out interesting insights, that's not to say that positive responses don't, but, i don't know, moaning seems more natural than "bigging up".... it's all about Communication at the end of the day... and if one is only communicating bollocks or contradictory signals there will be discord, ..but if one opens up and let's others in... there will be harmony... and that's a good thing, surely? |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah indeed. i totally agree with you here. BTW: This thread goes perfect with Ulrich Schnauss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's nothing wrong with moaning about music, I'll just moan against it if I don't agree. |
||||||||
|

Let's all sit back and think. Let's try to come up with an album that we heard that is just pure rubbish and discuss why it is and why we dont like it. I am sure i might be able to come up with something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like who? that was a moan anyway.. virginpusher: great idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who said ethics? I'm just kidding, btw... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
quick think of something! so, yawn or laugh? (steve) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't think of an album now, after all the "big up".... oh wait, .... oh no... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um.. the last U2 album? there's still a few prats who like that one, though. I think Steve is laughing: |

its in these threads, where i really want to say something, to state my opinion, that i lack of english speaking qualities. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

but i can assure you guys that i read it all! |

Ok! That is an easy one. Here are my reasons for disliking it. 1. I appears on my classic rock station that i like to enjoy during afternoons. I am sorry but a 2005 release isnt classic. 2. It is mainstream rape. The way it is portrayed on commercials and such (ipod example) is rediculous. They pushed it before the release. Excuse me but i can listen to music on my own. I'd rather have music speak for itself then have some TV ad brainwash me dry with this nonsense. 3. Upon listening to the few tracks i have heard (2?) i find no substance there and i feel nothing. I fell as though this was just scrapped together. just me |

The cruel shoes... "¿Donde esta la casa de Pepe?"... kitty juggling.... and Henry Winkler. I just tried to listen to Dial by Ae and after 7 minutes, when i'd forgotten what i'd done, and then the thought "What is this irritating bollocks" entered my brain-span, i decided to nominate Gantz Graf as the second worst "keep listening and try to find out what's good about it" purchase after "New School Science" by Jedi Knights. |

I like U2 but what i heard of the new album makes me want to wank myself to death, unloved, behind a shed. |

windowlicker by Aphex Twin. boring, outplayed trash. not even good in a pop-song kind of way. |

i only heard bits, luckily. |

Cunty, old boy, just let rip, the more broken the english the funnier it'll be, come out with some bad language in your own tongue, it all adds to the brain cup-a-soup that is The Internet. |

Plaid: trying to find a good melody, but never really getting there, it never really sticks, the music never goes one up on itself. just try to find that good melody and fail. and repeat. and repeat. and repeat. and repeat. and repeat. and repeat. |

I am glad i took over a year and a half off of electronic music. It keeps me fresh. Now i am back. ---- There was some ambient album that didnt fit my standards of ambient. Its hard for me to explain but when i put it in i was thinking "what is this trash?" i kind of skimmed through the album and i was disappointed with what i had found. Especially since it had a title similar to ambient sounds vol532 or something of that nature. I was expecting minimal ambeint bliss and found rookie songs on a improperly labeled album |

I am quite enjoying this thread. it's virtually discussion-less! |

How dare you fucking say that??!?!?! It is a very good pop song albeit strait jacketed by a wankboys idea of cut up beatz, which therefore makes it acceptable to wank boys. It'd be interesting, I guess, if rather than release the further wankery of the "Acid remix" version RDJ released a more straight forward "pop remix", but then , what the cunting fuck do I know? |

That is a prime example of something i could never get into. I did try and was mildly drawn to Pron coconut Co. Overall i didnt like the feel to their music. Although i havent even come close to hearing it all i find myself not compelled to give it another chance. There are so many artists out there that i must hear. This is a good example of why p2p networks are good. I was able to sample good quality music that i didnt like and promptly trashed it. No harm no foul |

"i should in fairness add that my taste in music is reputedly deplorable..." "...your taste in music is excellent, it exactly coincides with my own!" |

Yeah, sorry... Phob/MX, can you delete that one? I got sucked into an argument when I should have remained poker faced. |

This i would love to read! Please commence! |

this is the perfect thread for ranting, I must congratulate you! |
